The Voice Of The Unseen by Twinkle

It's a recent incident that has instigated my mind to believe in supernatural beings...


It was 12th November 2011, Saturday. My school, an all girls' school was celebrating its junior school sports meet. Junior school consists of classes right from Prep to Fourth standard. Rest all the classes, from 5th to 12th were enjoying a holiday, but unfortunately, my friend, Hana, Pearl and I had to attend school helping the young ones just because of the atrocious fact that we had sisters in the junior school. There were other 5-6 volunteers that were chosen by the teachers for other important or rather insignificant chores. Hana, Pearl and I had to look after the young ones of class Prep! How messy they were... The whole junior school had assembled in the far field of our school that was huge enough to bear the noises and trouble created by the kids. Even the parents of the junior school had gathered to cheer their kids participate actively.


After the games of class Prep, they wanted to visit the washroom. As per the instructions of their class teacher, we accompanied the little girls to the washroom instructing them to walk in a line avoiding the inevitable risk of anyone running away to their parents. They returned back to their class. Hana and I obeying the teacher went back to the washroom entrance to check if anyone of class prep was still loitering around in the washroom. On seeing that the entrance itself was deserted we were about to leave but still for confirmation I called inside "Is there any girl from Prep?". At first no one answered. Then again when I repeated the question, a sweet voice of a girl that seemed to be of our age replied, "Am there from Prep!" We laughed at the joke that a 15-16 year old can't possibly be in Prep.


Hana and I commenced to converse with her in a friendly way and her voice kept replying in a humorous way too. I finally questioned her, "Who are you?". She remained silenced. Then Hana posed the second question, "When are you planning to come out?" After a while she spoke, "Wait a minute am just coming!" Continuing with my jokes, I shouted, "Come out quickly or else I'll shoot you up!" Hana and I burst out laughing at this comment of mine. I repeated the dialogue in James Bond style. Her voice did not react at all. This time I asked her in a serious tone, "Are you coming?" No reply was heard. Hana posed the same question, but her voice seemed to be lost. We kept asking the same question like a parrot but her voice never showed up. Now Hana's patience was lost too. She rushed into the washroom while I stood waiting for her return. She followed the path from where the voice had traveled only to find emptiness. She opened each and every toilet but found not a trace of anyone's presence.


She returned to me conveying the horrible message that the girl had perhaps disappeared into thin air. I went and checked all the toilets myself but not an ant! Where could she have gone? Were we talking to the air? Or were we stuck in a terrible nightmare? But both Hana and I could not possibly have the same one. If that girl were to escape, how could she when I was standing right at the entrance? The mystery remains unsolved... And to be honest I would not really like to check back into the junior school washroom...
